This is the first "payoff" series in the sparse-index work. It makes 'git
status' very fast when a sparse-index is enabled on a repository with
cone-mode sparse-checkout (and a small populated set).

This is based on ds/sparse-index-protections AND mt/add-rm-sparse-checkout.
The latter branch is needed because it changes the behavior of 'git add'
around sparse entries, which changes the expectations of a test added in
patch 1.

The approach here is to audit the places where ensure_full_index() pops up
while doing normal commands with pathspecs within the sparse-checkout
definition. Each of these are checked and tested. In the end, the
sparse-index is integrated with these features:

 * git status
 * FS Monitor index extension.

The performance tests in p2000-sparse-operations.sh improve by 95% or more,
even when compared with the full-index cases, not just the sparse-index
cases that previously had extra overhead.

Hopefully this is the first example of how ds/sparse-index-protections has
done the basic work to do these conversions safely, making them look easier
than they seemed when starting this adventure.

Thanks, -Stolee


Update in V7 (relative to v5)
=============================

APOLOGIES: As I was working on this cover letter, I was still organizing my
big list of patches, including reordering some into this series. I forgot to
actually include them in my v6 submission, so here is a re-submission.
Please ignore v6.

I'm sorry that this revision took so long. Initially I was blocked on
getting the directory/file conflict figured out (I did), but also my team
was very busy with some things. Eventually, we reached an internal deadline
to make an experimental release available [1] with initial sparse-index
performance boosts. Creating that included some additional review by Jeff
Hostetler and Johannes Schindelin which led to more changes in this version.

The good news is that this series has now created the basis for many Git
commands to integrate with the sparse-index without much additional work.
This effort was unfortunately overloaded on this series because the changes
needed for things like 'git checkout' or 'git add' all intersect with the
changes needed for 'git status'. Might as well get it right the first time.

Because the range-diff is a big difficult to read this time, I'll break the
changes down on a patch-by-patch basis.

 1. sparse-index: skip indexes with unmerged entries
    
    (no change)

 2. sparse-index: include EXTENDED flag when expanding

 * Commit message better describes the purpose of the change.

 3. t1092: replace incorrect 'echo' with 'cat'

 * Typo fix

 4. t1092: expand repository data shape

 * some files are added that surround "folder1/" immediately before and
   after, based on the sorting with the trailing slash. This provides extra
   coverage.

 5. t1092: add tests for status/add and sparse files
    
    (no change)

 6. unpack-trees: preserve cache_bottom
    
    (no change)

 7. unpack-trees: compare sparse directories correctly

 * We were previosly not comparing the path lengths, which causes a problem
   (with later updates) when a sparse directory such as "folder1/0/" gets
   compared to a tree name "folder1".

 8. unpack-trees: rename unpack_nondirectories()

 * This new commit changes the name to make more sense with its new behavior
   that could modify a sparse directory entry. The point of the method is in
   contrast to recursing into trees.

 9. unpack-trees: unpack sparse directory entries

 * THIS is the biggest change from previous versions. There were a few
   things going on that were tricky to get right, especially with the
   directory/file conflict (handled in an update in the following, new
   patch).

 * The changes to create_ce_entry() regarding alloc_len missed a spot that
   was critical to getting the length right in the allocated entry.

 * Use '\0' over 0 to represent the terminating character.

 * We don't need a "sparse_directory" parameter to unpack_nondirectories()
   (which was renamed to unpack_single_entry() by the previous new patch)
   because we can use dirmask to discover if src[0] (or any other value)
   should be a sparse directory entry.

 * Similarly, we don't need to call the method twice from unpack_callback().

 * The 'conflicts' variable is set to match the dirmask in the beginning,
   but it should depend on whether or not we have a sparse directory entry
   instead, and if all trees that have the path have a directory.

 * The implementation of find_cache_entry() uses find_cache_pos() to find an
   insertion position for a path if it doesn't find an exact match. Before,
   we subtracted one to find the sparse directory entry, but there could be
   multiple paths between the sparse directory entry and the insertion
   point, so we need to walk backwards until we find it. This requires many
   paths having the same prefix, so hopefully is a rare case. Some of the
   test data changes were added to cover the need for this logic. This uses
   a helper method, sparse_dir_matches_path, which is also used by
   is_sparse_directory_entry.

 10. unpack-trees: handle dir/file conflict of sparse entries

 * This new logic inside twoway_merge handles the special case for dealing
   with a directory/file conflict during a 'git checkout'. The necessarily
   data and tests are also added here, though the logic will only take
   serious effect when we integrate with 'git checkout' later.

 11. dir.c: accept a directory as part of cone-mode patterns

 * The value slash_pos was previously a pointer within a strbuf, but in some
   cases we add to that strbuf and that could reallocate the pointer, making
   slash_pos be invalid. The replacement is to have slash_pos be an integer
   position within the string, so it is consistent even if the string is
   reallocated for an append.

 12. diff-lib: handle index diffs with sparse dirs

 * As recommended in the previous review, a simple diff_tree_oid() replaces
   the complicated use of read_tree_at() and traverse_trees() in the
   previous version.

 13. status: skip sparse-checkout percentage with sparse-index
     
     (no change)

 14. status: use sparse-index throughout
     
     (no change)

 15. wt-status: expand added sparse directory entries

 * Duplicate 'git status --porcelain=v2' lines are removed from tests.

 * The pathspec is initialized using "= { 0 }" instead of memset().

 16. fsmonitor: integrate with sparse index

 * An extra test_region is added to ensure that the filesystem monitor hook
   is still being called, and we are not simply disabling the feature
   entirely.

     @@ Commit message
          might want to perform a merge operation on the entry, such as during
          'git checkout <commit>' which wants to replace a sparse tree entry with
          the tree for that path at the target commit. We extend the logic within
     -    unpack_nondirectories() to create a sparse-directory entry in this case,
     -    and then that is sent to call_unpack_fn(). Since the name becomes
     -    confusing by handling directories, rename it to unpack_single_entry()
     -    since it handles a blob entry or a sparse directory entry without using

Since v6 was a mistake, here is the full range-diff of v5 versus v7:

    @@ Commit message
     
         When creating a full index from a sparse one, we create cache entries
         for every blob within a given sparse directory entry. These are
    -    correctly marked with the CE_SKIP_WORKTREE flag, but they must also be
    -    marked with the CE_EXTENDED flag to ensure that the skip-worktree bit is
    -    correctly written to disk in the case that the index is not converted
    -    back down to a sparse-index.
    +    correctly marked with the CE_SKIP_WORKTREE flag, but the CE_EXTENDED
    +    flag is not included. The CE_EXTENDED flag would exist if we loaded a
    +    full index from disk with these entries marked with CE_SKIP_WORKTREE, so
    +    we can add the flag here to be consistent. This allows us to directly
    +    compare the flags present in cache entries when testing the sparse-index

    @@ Commit message
         might want to perform a merge operation on the entry, such as during
         'git checkout <commit>' which wants to replace a sparse tree entry with
         the tree for that path at the target commit. We extend the logic within
    -    unpack_nondirectories() to create a sparse-directory entry in this case,
    +    unpack_single_entry() to create a sparse-directory entry in this case,
         and then that is sent to call_unpack_fn().
     
         There are some subtleties in this process. For instance, we need to
         update find_cache_entry() to allow finding a sparse-directory entry that
    -    exactly matches a given path.

This is SUPER exciting.  I've only read the cover letter, but it
strongly suggests you've not only handled all my feedback in previous
rounds, but got things pretty solidly nailed away.  I'll try to make
some time to go over it all soon.

You have indeed addressed nearly all my feedback in previous rounds,
and I found few problems with all the new code in this round.
Overall, this round is looking really good, though there are a couple
things I called out in comments on individual patches that I'll
summarize here:

Patch 9: a few minor suggestions for improving comments

Patch 10: the new code is never triggered and probably should either
be dropped or made part of a later series if the later series needs
it.  Also, although it doesn't necessarily need to hold up this
series, I found a bug affecting sparse-checkouts with or without
sparse-index while trying to understand this patch.

Patch 12: the code was slightly confusing to me, but I found that
there seems to be an invariant it is based upon.  Adding an assert
with a comment or just a comment about this invariant might help make
the code more readable.

Patch 15: since the new tests in t1092 are written to compare
sparse-checkout and sparse-index, it seems we should investigate a bug
where the testsuite commands we invoke are giving incorrect behavior
in both sparse-checkout and sparse-index.

This summary is nice. I will try to do a similar thing myself
in the future.

Done.

I checked and this patch is not necessary until the next series,
so I will move it to that one.

The assert() plus a better comment makes this patch cleaner.

I have made a note in an internal tracker to follow-up on this
along with some other behavior things that currently exist in
sparse-checkout as they should be pursued in a separate series.

I'm not ignoring your comments, but I would like to keep these
patches that change the underlying data structure from being
conflated with behavior changes. The fact that I am discovering
(and documenting in tests) the changes is only highlighting that
they already exist.
